"Hi girl, sup? Having two minds about the show?", Ekta asked.

"No no of course not, never when it's with you", Shraddha said.

"So, whats up?"

"I have actually Whatsapped you some photoshoot images of this guy I think would be suitable for the role"

"Hmm, lemme have a look. Just hold for a min"

Ekta scrolled through the images Shraddha had sent and she was spellbound.

"Shraddha, he's superb. I mean the girls would go gaga over him."

"Hmm, yeah even I feel so"

"But is he a good actor?"

"I can send you a few links of his short films, you can have a look and judge if he's worth it"

"Sure that'll be perf! Btw, his name is?"

"Gu.. Dheeraj, Dheeraj Dhoopar"

"Nice name too"

"He's gonna be a big shot suppa soon girl"

They kept the phone and Shraddha sent the short film videos to Ekta.

On receiving the video, Ekta and Muzammil look at the videos and they are heavily impressed.

"He can do the role of our guy", Muzammil said.

"Muzzu you are right. Let's get this guy's number and call him up for a screen test", Ekta said.

Meanwhile in Delhi, Dheeraj had gone to buy some groceries at the supermarket.

"God, look it's Dheeraj Dhoopar. Yeh toh asli mein bhi utna hi hot lagta hai jitna movies mein lagta hai", a girl said.

"Did you see his Instagram post yesterday? God, I am so madly in love with his hair", the other girl said.

Chal uske paas chalke ek selfie lete hai. The girls went up to DD who was paying the bill of the groceries.

"Hi Dheeraj", the girls said.

Dheeraj's look 

"Hi girls", DD replied.

"We are mad fans of you, your work is amazing and we love you. Could I please have a picture with you and autograph too?"

"First of all, I am glad that my work is liked by someone because that's why we work hard just to make you all smile and of course you can have a selfie with me"

After taking the selfie, he stepped out of the grocery into his car that was parked outside. Just then he got a call.

"Hello", DD said.

"Hi, this is Ekta Kapoor", Ekta answered.

Dheeraj couldn't believe his ears, it was all like a dream for him.

"Hi ma'am, huge fan of you"

"Thanks, I wanted to check if it was possible for you to fly to Mumbai from Delhi"

"Why ma'am, if I may ask?"

"We're casting for a new show. The two ladies have already been casted, we're casting for the male character now"

"Oh my god! Ma'am it will be an honour to work with you. I'll be there tomorrow".

"Okay! Looking forward to meet you Dheeraj"

Dheeraj reached home and started packing for going to Mumbai the next day. He had booked 12 a.m. just to reach there a few hours prior to the meeting time.

Meanwhile in Mumbai, Shraddha and Vinny got ready to go outside for dinner. They planned to go to Olive Bar and Kitchen. The clothes they wore were matching each other and they definitely did look like soulmates.

They reached the hotel and called for a table of two. They sat down at their table and called for the waiter.

"One tomato consomme, one plate of red velvet fried chicken, one plate of seafood pravencale and seared salmon" Vinny ordered for both of them.

"Would you like to drink anything ma'am?" the waiter enquired.

"After dinner daiquiri for her and No - jito for me as always", Shraddha replied.

"I'll be back ma'am", the waiter said.

Shraddha and Vinny started taking selfies and chit chatted while waiting for their food.

"So kya socha hai guddu ke baarein mein?", Vinny asked.

"I told Ektu about him ab dekhte hai if he gets selected or not", Shraddha said.

"Umm, let's see kya hota hai ab uske talent pe depend karta hai sab", Vinny said. "Mein kya soch rahi hu na, ki hum log kal shopping chalte hai. Naye naye kapde lenge maze aayenge."

"Vinz, tu pagal hai? Kitni shopping karegi yaar tu? Pure time shopping, shopping, shopping. Thak nahi jaati tu?", Shraddha asked.

"Of course, shopping is like a stressbuster!" Vinny answered, excitedly.

"Whatever! Theek hai chalte hai shopping karne", Shraddha answered.

The dinner came and they had dinner chatting about life and other quintessential things.

They left the hotel and made their way back home. They reached home, changed into their night clothes and prepared to sleep.

Shraddha jumped on to her bed, put on the quilt and closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, Dheeraj was all set to make his entry into the sapnon ki nagri "Mumbai". He had boarded the flight to Mumbai and his flight was about to land down.

"So, finally I am here. In Mumbai. In my dream destination. And I am here to make my name and mein woh banake hi rahunga. Dheeraj, this is your arena, this is what you manifested and you will definitely get. Just keep your focus straight and everything's gonna be perfect". Dheeraj said to boost himself.

The flight landed at 1:30 and it was nearly 2 am when he stepped out of the airport. Even at 2 am, Mumbai was bustling with cars and trucks. He booked a cab and told him to drop him to the nearest lounge to Balaji Telefilms, where he could stay for the time being before going for the audition tomorrow.

"Bhaiya ji, studio ke pass hi Empresa Hotel hai, apun aapko vaich chod dega", the driver said.

"Theek hai bhaiya, jo aapko theek lage", Dheeraj said.

The driver was on his way to Andheri West, when Balaji Telefilms as well as the hotel was located. On his way, the driver showed Dheeraj all the important places that they crossed by. Dheeraj made a note to visit all these places after he got selected in the audition.

"Bhaiya Ji, aapka hotel aagaya", the driver said once he reached Empresa Hotel.

Dheeraj got down from the car, and paid the driver his dues and thanked him for dropping him till here.

Hotel Empresa 

Dheeraj made his way inside the hotel and went to the reception.

Empresa Hotel Interiors 

"Hi, I want a room.", Dheeraj told the receptionist.

"Sure sir. Just a minute. Could I please get your name?", the receptionist replied.

"Dheeraj, Dheeraj Dhoopar", he said.

"Okay", she said. She feeded his name on the computer and handed him the keys. "Sir, that's your key and your room number is 315."

Dheeraj made his way to the lift and then to his room. He kept his bag on the bed and freshened up before resting for a while.

It was 3:30 a.m., when he hit the bed. He still had a few hours before he had to wake up. He set the alarm for 6:30 am and slept off.
